Basic Knowledge of Bit Depth

Audio bit depth (not to be confused with sample rate or bitrate) refers to the number of possible amplitude for each audio sample. It defines the dynamic range of digital audio.

16 bit and 24 bit are two common bit depths for recording and bouncing audio files. 16 bit provides 96dB of dynamic range between the noise floor and 0dBFS, while 24 bit provides 144dB. Different from the resolution of digital images, higher bit depths won’t result in better quality audio. It simply means a higher bit depth will have a lower noise floor.


16-bit WAV is the standard resolution of a CD (16-bit, 44.1kHz) and is the default for many audio applications in everyday use. You can convert 24-bit to 16-bit WAV with a powerful audio (information) resolution converter. The following article shows you how to achieve that. Get the software and keep reading for the detailed steps below.
